Improving industry competitiveness by developing, integrating and implementing high value-added technologies and processes: • Relevant to many sectors • Relevant to many technologies Technology Strategy Board Driving Innovation FP7UK European Framework Programme for Business FP7UK NMP areas NMP covers 4 main areas in the work programme: • Nanotechnology • Materials • New Production • Integration (with one or more elements of N, M or P, applying them to specific sectoral issues) Technology Strategy Board Driving Innovation FP7UK European Framework Programme for Business Directly Relevant Sectors in NMP calls All these sectors have topics related to them in NMP Work Programmes: Aerospace Electronics ICT Photonics Automotive Energy Manufacturing Textiles Biotechnology Environment Materials Transport Chemicals Forestry Nanotechnology Construction Health Oil & Gas Technology Strategy Board Driving Innovation European Framework Programme for Business FP7UK UK in the NMP calls • UK Industrial participation is at the same level as academia • More successful UK SMEs so far than in all of FP6. • UK grants in NMP call alone will be equivalent to that from a full UK CR&D call. Technology Strategy Board Driving Innovation European Framework Programme for Business FP7UK How NMP Proposals are evaluated: Large, Small and SME projects are Collaborative Projects -organisations from at least 3 countries They (usually) have a 2-stage procedure – Stage 1 is a 10-page summary proposal for a quick yes/no Projects are marked on Technical Excellence, Impact and Project Management (stage 2 only) Technology Strategy Board Driving Innovation European Framework Programme for Business FP7UK NMP - Example of Collaborative Projects • Small or medium-scale focused research projects • <4m€ Funding (Typically €2-3m, ~6-10 organisations) • Generally research focused with some end markets & applications • Large scale integrating collaborative projects, • >4m€ Funding (typically €6-8m, ~12-20 organisations) • Still pre-competitive research, but tying closer into end markets and applications. • Higher dissemination & training element • SME collaborative projects • Aimed at making SMEs research and knowledge-driven • >35% SME participation (no prescribed No. of participants) • SME drive (not necessarily the coordinator) Technology Strategy Board Driving Innovation FP7UK European Framework Programme for Business NMP 2011 Call 5 Indicative Timescales & Details (2-stage): Call Publication ~30th July 2010 1st Stage Deadline ~4th Nov 2010 2nd Stage Deadline May 2011 There will be some variations to this – always read the detail! (i.e. PPP 2nd Dec, joint calls, etc) Technology Strategy Board Driving Innovation FP7UK European Framework Programme for Business NMP 2011 (Call 5) Indicative Budgets: Small Projects ~€90m+ over 10 topics Large Projects ~€110m+ over 8 topics SME Projects ~€30m over 4 topics Coordinated Actions ~€11m over 5 topics ERANET ~ €8m over 4 topics Joint Calls ~€30.5m over 4 topics Technology Strategy Board Driving Innovation European Framework Programme for Business The PPPs and the 2011 Call Technology Strategy Board Driving Innovation FP7UK European Framework Programme for Business FP7UK What are the PPPs? • • • Public Private Partnerships Re-focused FP7 money on three areas identified in the 2008 European Economic Recovery Package: • • Factories of the Future (€600m from Commission) Green Cars (€600m) • Energy Efficient Buildings (€500m) They are NOT Joint Technology Initiatives (JTIs) Technology Strategy Board Driving Innovation European Framework Programme for Business FP7UK How are the PPPs to be implemented? • Budgets come from the different thematic area budgets • e.g. ‘Factories’ is 1/2 NMP, 1/2 ICT • This year Calls will be coordinated calls between the different themes, following normal FP7 rules. • After that – they may start to look more ‘JTI-like’ with more direct involvement of the European Technology Platforms.
